CHAINS Sliding/tightening chains are not allowed at AMR shows after the 30th June 2016. A chin strap, butterfly lead or similar is to be used instead. A chain lead is only allowed as long as it is captured and cannot tighten under the chin. Captured chains and leads must be adjusted so loops cannot enter the mouth or allow a leg to get stuck.

SHAVING & HAIR REMOVALIn the interest of the health and well being of horses and ponies it is no longer acceptable presentation to use hair removal products. Check show schedules if shaving is allowed at a show. Clipping is allowed but preferably no shorter than a #15 blade.

HOT BRANDINGThere are plans for a Revision of the Code of Practice for the Welfare of Horses in Victoria. Branding may soon be ilegal in Victoria. Please check before branding horses in this state. In the interest of the well being of horses and ponies it is preferable that branding is fazed out.

NEW WHORL ID FORMTo enable registration identification without the cost of micro-chipping or unsightly scarring, AMR have introduced a new whorl ID form. See Forms & Fees Page.
